H₂ STATION ROLL-OUT
DEDICATED SINGLE-STATION STRATEGY
HYDROGEN STATION ROLL-OUT STRATEGY
Hydrogen fueling stations will be built one at a
time along dedicated routes, based on customer
need and network optimization
•
• "450,000 trucks, or "25% of total fleets(2),
operate along dedicated routes, typically
between a plant and distribution center along
major freight corridors
• Initial build out of 1,200 station equivalents)
will be developed to serve this section of the
market (based on 210 trucks per 8,000kg station)
• Station locations determined by pre-orders,
selecting customers with routes along the most
trafficked freight corridors
. First stations may potentially operate as hubs,
allowing fleets to refuel within a 250-mile radius
• Projected average one-time station capex of
$16.6M expected to support 630 leases over 21
years improvements in technology are
expected to reduce capex by 10% in 2025 and
beyond
Targeting dedicated routes segment enables a
focused roll out of H₂ station network to optimally
manage capital outlay
